Preliminary Deformational Studies on a Finite Element Model of the Nasal Septum Reveals Key Areas for Septal Realignment and Reconstruction

<table>Intrinsic points of fatigue in the idealized cartilaginous septum model and the resultant shortening of the cartilage and levering off the vomerine groove. Note the stresses shown are Von Mises stresses. The ghost image that illustrates the shortening and levering of the septum is for illustrative purposes only.</table>
